Arianna Huffington is often described as authentic, intelligent, and humble female leader. Several weeks ago I’ve had a chance to hear Arianna speak to a large audience at HubSpot’s INBOUND conference, as well as a pleasure of talking to her afterwards, and I can tell you that this description of Arianna couldn’t be more accurate. We discussed success, work and life balance, and wise leadership. Below are some of the leadership and life lessons she talked about that stood out for me. Via Jose Luis Anzizar, Bobby Dillard

As a business leader, leadership is not about being popular. You must be prepared to exercise the authority that comes with your leadership.
I don't think that anyone ever said that being a leader was easy!
I knew as a leader that many days my staff would not like the decisions that were made; however, as a leader my job was to make the tough decisions while explaining the business reasons and benefits the company aspired to gain from the decision.
Being respected was my ultimate goal. What are some tips you have for our readers?

“Life presents us a multitude of lessons…we can choose to spend our time lamenting our current situation and miss the learning...or we can choose to reflect, grow, and stretch ourselves. And come ...
Wow, what a great reminder to us all as leaders.
Our words, actions, behaviors, gestures, and responses all leave imprints on our staff, and everyone around us.
Great comment from this article: "Leaders must be aware that their actions, their words, their impact, their leadership leaves an impression, an imprint. Either positive or negative. An imprint just the same."
What kind of impressions are you leaving to your team?

Some of the most exciting and rewarding sessions I delivered this year were the ones I facilitated with sixth graders at a local school.
During the sessions, follow-up conversations, meetings and graduation, I was intrigued by many of the comments made by the students as they shared their views on leadership. I made it a point to capture some of their most meaningful observations.
Here are a few priceless comments from these wise leaders:
~Leadership is doing something special or hard
~Seeing the best in others instead of being mean
~Keep in mind a person’s strengths even when they make me mad
~If I am wrong, I learn something
~Social responsibility is being loyal to your friends
~Leadership is getting things done and having fun
~Doing my best work and being OK when I am not at my best
I enjoyed reading this article. 6th graders observations about leadership is wonderful!

As a leader ask: Am I pushing myself out of my confort zone so that individually and collaboratively we are constantly learning, growing, and raising the bar?
For my team: Have we only set safe and easily achievable goals?
For my company: What is impossible for us to do; however, if we did would be a game changer for us our customers, and our industry?

The “law of replication” says that like begets like. This applies especially to leadership. Like it or not, you will replicate yourself. Your followers will adopt your behaviors, habits, and mannerisms.
What a moving article that certainly should leave us as leaders with powerful questions to think on.
Our actions do speak louder than our words.
If your people imitated you in everything you do, would you be happy with their performance?

Want to grow your business? Reclaim your child-like sense of wonder, that endless curiosity about the world around you.
I could not agrtee more with this article!!!
Being curious instead of placing judgment is such an amazing vantage point to have. When someone says something that you think is wrong...postpone judgment, and be curious instead. Ask them, "Joe, I have never heard such a unique idea -- tell me I'm curious what was considered that led the team to....."
When you are curious, everyone becomes a guru!
Also, when you start thinking like you were a 5 year old...everything is possible!

Abraham Lincoln brings us enduring wisdom in a nutshell.Abraham Lincoln is very much in the news these days, with examinations of his character, his actions, and his leadership style.
Don't just read this posting, please print and refer to it often. These are all excellent reminders to all of us to be the best we can be as individuals and as leaders.
Leading is not managing. It is a privilege that is earned each day.
One thought for the day: Serving others is the mark of a true leader. Pretend that your contract as a leader lasts only one year, and your staff make the decision to re-sign you as their leader or not.
Would you be fired or re-hired?
